“I was in the mood for a Mangonada and not too familiar with the area since we moved to Bayonne a year ago. We were out driving and I googled mangonada and came across M2ICE. They did not DISAPPOINT! Everything was absolutely incredible. The owners were also very welcoming and explained the different options and gave suggestions. We will be back.“

“my grandma and me would walk down the street sit on the park bench get a few of Tony's best hot dogs with sweet onions or there Chili Cheese dogs then take my fishing pole and walk down the steps to branch brook park and do some fishing this was back in the 70's I stop by there every now and then when I'am in the area brings back old memories of when I was much younger.“

“Been coming here for a while now and the food has been amazing. The fried chicken is one of the best I’ve had in all of the east coast. They also just got BBQ Ribs and Oxtails. And they are heavenly, and full of flavors. Feels like im in a Jamaican/fried chicken cuisine. Best of both worlds.“

“The service is good and the food is amazing! For the people complaining please take a moment to reflect and put your pettiness aside, all these complaints and it’s the bare minimum that any other establishment can and has made. No need for the one review stars. Keep doing what you’re doing! For anyone new, try it out! It’s really popular though so be ready for the slight crowd😂“
