It's a pretty safe bet that if you act up at Ann's Snack Bar, you will A) be told to settle down or B) be told to leave. For the uninformed, Ann has some strict rules which if you don't follow will get you tossed out of her place. No cursing is a big one, no cell phone usage is another. For the record, due to the fear of possibly offending her, all pictures were taken on the sly. 
The guy sitting a few seats down from me was told to cease using his phone twice before he thought better of it and used it outside, ensuring that he would not anger Ann. The lady who was in line right in front of us, told us how Ann shouted at a disruptive customer if they didn't like her rules they could go to Checkers (which happens to be a few shops down) . We arrived a few minutes before 11am, hoping to be the first in line to eat at Ann's. There were already 3 people in line. Ann did not open up until 11:20 am, totally oblivious to the fact that we had been waiting outside (I found this rather amusing). Eating here is an experience in itself, I've seen it mentioned elsewhere before but it really is as if you are in someone's kitchen while your lunch is being prepared. She does it all. John & Isaac ordered fries whereas I ordered the chili cheese fries. Some of the best chili cheese fries I've had and most definitely one of the best chili.
John and Isaac went with the regular Cheeseburger 
while I went with the Chili Cheese Dog. 
John and I end up splitting each others meal which worked out well for both of us. Both were stupendous. The signature burger here is the Ghetto Burger. 
Nathan, one of the guys who was in line ahead of us donated a pic of his Ghetto Burger (2 giant patties with bacon, cheese and her homemade chili).

Damn, sounds like a lot of bullshit to go through for some food, did you have to raise your hand if you needed to g o to the bathroom? I dunno, I have a short fuse for shit like that, I wouldn't respond well to someone yelling at me for using a cell phone or something.
i want to go to there.
We stood outside for 30 minutes in the cold and wet (the roof over the porch leaks), but it was well worth it. I got the Ghetto Burger, but had to take a third of it home with me. It is one of the best burgers I have had. She cuts up onions and cooks them in once the burger is partially done. Miss Ann was very nice, but then again no one used their phone or acted up. Ceasedream asked if you had to raise your hand to go to the restroom. No, there isn't one in the place. There are only seven seats at the counter, so get there early. It is not worth doing take out since you have to wait for your order to be cooked anyway. Plan on at least an hour and a half including waiting for the doors to open.
