ARGO — During Wednesday’s Argo City Council meeting, two agenda items pertained to Crazy Horse restaurant which occupies a building owned by the City of Argo. The building is located at 8885 Gadsden Highway.
Crazy Horse has been open since 2011, but the family has 50 years of experience in the meat industry. The restaurant offers breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.
As of Wednesday morning, Crazy Horse had submitted a check for $8,000 to cover rent for April, May, June and July, however rent has not been paid for August or September yet. A motion was approved during the meeting to have the city attorney draft a letter to the owner, Hunter Evans, stating that he needs to be up-to-date on payments by the end of September.
The second matter pertaining to the owner was the removal of panels he’d purchased six months ago. The panels were purchased from the city in a sealed bid, and still have not been removed from city property. A second letter from the city attorney will be issued to Evans asking that he remove the panels, and if he does not, it will be done at the expense of the city, and Evans will be expected to reimburse the city for the cost.

Why are they so far behind on rent?

Maybe they should lower their prices and then more people would go. I’ve been once, and it cost my boyfriend and I over $100 and we had no alcohol (which usually runs the bill up). On top of that, the portions are horribly small.
Jennifer Parker Eichler
Agree 100%.
Mickey Watkins-Goodwin
Probably because it’s not great and overpriced. Just a guess
Mickey Watkins-Goodwin
Agreed. Horrible experience.

What do they mean by panels?

Also… 2k per mo. For that building seems like a really good deal.

I didn’t know it was everybody’s business to know about where he was on rent. This isn’t “news.”

maybe we need to let the public know when Megan Miller and anyone on the Tribune staff is behind on their bills

Wow It seems to me that the Tribune picks on certain business’s and loves to dog them. Is it because they don’t advertise with them? People in Trussville say they want this or that and then when you get it you don’t support it or you dog it on social media. Own a business, go in debt, pay huge taxes, have employees quit, and then complain about it. Crazy Horse is a nice small business who’s family has been in Trussville all their lives! Wonderful people who have done so much in Trussville. We have nothing else like it. So please quit saying it is too expensive. It’s not mickey dee’s!

People who think $100.00 on a meal have never been to a nice restaurant before. Ruth’s Chris would have been more!

I agree, this is not new!!! No ones business was about others finances.
Bonita Jones Franklin
I’m guessing they posted this about finances so if they close no one will be surprised
Joni Brackner Parrish
great food…fun place….I’m sure it’s a mistake…the Evans are a fine family.
Judy AndBob Ping
Really? Nothing else to report?? Except when someone is struggling? This is sad and wrong on so many levels…
Greg Wilson
If I was Argo I would shut the doors on this place
He charges high prices and the food has went down hill since he moved
Just can’t believe with the high prices he is behind on rent and instead of paying for August or Septembers rent he put in a bid on crap that he want go get
Advice
Argo get him up to date on rent and try and find away to get him out before you get stuck with the check
