I just heard that Ms. Ann passed away, yesterday. She was an incredible lady and if you have never had a Ghetto Burger, you missed the best burger in Atlanta.

Where is this place at?  Ive worked downtown for 20 years and never heard of it.

Memorial Dr near Kirkwood

This is in my neighborhood (Kirkwood). She was an iconic figure.

That is one of the neatest places in Atlanta. Ms Ann was a very cool lady she was old school by the book and to the poing and didnt put up with any BS !
She will be missed she as an Atlanta icon.

RIP Miss Ann.

Ghetto Burgers were awesome.

Ann was the first woman to be awarded an SBA loan in Atlanta. I would say that she did pretty good with it. She ran the place for 40+ years.

Any time that I took my kids with me to eat there, I tried to go later in the lunch hour, when she wasn't so busy. I enjoyed sitting and talking to her. She was tough as nails and an incredible lady. My daughters thought the world of her.

I hope that someone continues to run the place, but I am not getting my hopes up. The Ghetto Burger was damned near a religious experience. It really is that good.

I have lived in Metro Atlanta for 22 years and I am still amazed at the amount of "hole in the wall" places that I still discover. Many times I want to kick myself for not finding them earlier.

That is unfortunate.  She made a lot of people happy while running her business.  I should have gone there again this year.  :(
