Editorial Review for Ann's Snack Bar – by Suzanne Wright and Michael Longshore
The Scene
Inside, the decor includes an eight-seat counter, flat grill, refrigerator and television. "Don't allow babies to sit or stand on counter" and "Do not curse" are two of eight rules that 60-something Ann, a good-humored woman in a white apron, enforces. In this busy to-go business for three decades, Ann navigates a tiny space, hand-making patties and tending them on the grill.
The Food
If you're serious about burgers, head straight for the Ghetto burger, decadently slathered with onion, bacon, chili and cheese. The Hood burger features two lean cheeseburgers topped with bacon and coleslaw; order the combo for lemonade and fries. The chili dog split is two dogs deep-fried and slathered in chili on a white bun. The crinkle fries are nothing special, but the burgers and dogs are worth a trip.

I have been to Ann's Snack Shop about 4 times and I have respectively waited for each of them. For people that expect a Burger King or Fudruckers experience you will not get that at Ann's. Her shop is more than a place to eat, it is an experience. There are rules to be followed and if you don't like them you don't need to eat there. The rules have been the same for well over 30 years. Her burger is by far one of the best burgers I have ever had. It is worth the money and the wait. Everything is fresh to order and she literally cuts onions over the burger as it cooks. Is this somewhere you should go every week? No because it would not be healthy, but it is great to treat yourself every now and then to eat great food and see a legend of Atlanta.
Pros: The food
Cons: the parking

Ann is not the nicest person but she keeps it real. The burger was a good old fashioned buger which we Geed these days. I would take her any day over McDonlad's and Wendy's. Ground chuck or beef nothing with steroids or soy meat. She makes it right in front of you.
Pros: Quality meat
Cons: Wait time is ridiculous, no good parking, confusing order process
