Ground Round was well known in the 1980's for its children's parties and for passing out shelled peanuts where diners were encouraged to throw the peanut shells on the floor. The recent incarnation of Ground Round doesn't support such behavior.
The kid's mascot is the Ground Round Hound, an anthropomorphic hound dog who appears on the kid's menu.
