"I've been to Crafthouse a few times since they stopped being Home Cafe. If I were writing about Home Cafe I would be giving it a 5 star review hands down. The issue I have the Crafthouse is that the food is just not very consistent. I've ordered things are truly out of park great, but then I've ordered other things that are not so great.<br/ <br/ My most recent visit I ordered the fish sticks with fries and shared chips and queso with my dinner friend. The queso was really good, but when it was served it already formed a crust of hard cheese on the top. It made me wonder how long it had been sitting before it got to our table. My fish sticks were really three pieces of fried cod. It was breaded well and had a nice crunch to it and the fish itself and nice and flakey. The house tarter sauce was just OK because it was missing something, almost like a key ingredient, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The fries were a complete disappointment. They were over fried and had nothing to offer. I don't mind well done fries, but these were crispy through and through and essentially burnt.<br/ <br/ I've had brunch here before and it's pretty good. But again it's a consistency issue. I will continue to go back every now and then because I really want to give this place the benefit of the doubt. They're local and I love supporting local businesses. It's was makes a city like Lubbock a great place to live. But they can improve with delivering more consistently good food."
