Hayward's Ice Cream — Restaurant in Nashua

Are you looking for an excellent place to have ice cream, steamed hotdogs and relax? This location is wheelchair accessible, a great family oriented safe place to sit outdoors or in your car and enjoy family and friends. My mom is 86 and still to this day loves talking about when she was a young girl growing up in Tennessee and it was a very special treat to buy an ice-cream from the ice-cream truck which back then was owned by the local dairy farmer who would deliver bottles of fresh milk with the cream on top from his horse drawn wagon if the truck was not available. The farmer would bring homemade churned ice cream to the town folks. My mom said this ice cream was so delicious you can taste with cream. , In general, there are so many wonderful treasures that are shared by our grandparents of how things use to be and how things are today. Sit down and listen to your grand parent's journey from 'When' (hmm sounds like a book in the making) They are open year round with a month for vacation and renovations, it is, what I call.. 'Step Right Up Service!'... Or online orders. Everything is MMM...

Many flavors of hard ice cream to choose from, plus chocolate and vanilla soft serve. Don't forget to check the signs right on the window glass (in small) for the limited time flavors, as they're not shown on the large board above your head. Decent steamed hotdogs with toppings to chose from.

Note: April to August they are open an hour later until 10pm. Closed in winter from late October until (usually) the end of February. They are open before Christmas for Christmas trees only.

Update: The Salted Caramel Oreo flavor is out of this world. Certainly my favorite flavor. So favorite that right before they closed for the season, I bought 2 quarts, and then 2 half gallons (when they had a buy one get one for $0.99 at the end of the season to sell out their stock of ice cream). It's Mid-january, and thankfully I still have one of those half...

The ice cream is phenomenal, but don’t bother ordering drinks or food. My husband and I ordered chicken tenders, fries and a soda with our ice cream and we only got the ice cream. After being told to wait off to the side of the window (which we did for a good 45 min), my husband finally went back up to the window and managed to get the chicken. Had to go back again for the fries. At that point we gave up and never got our drink, just went home.

Edit after receiving a response: We were told by the cashier to wait literally right next to her window (in full view of her, mind you, we were pretty much still at the window just over enough for other people to come up) while she continued taking customers since it was really busy and our food was "going to take a few minutes". Wish I could give even lower stars for the response. Great customer...
