"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."

"Everything was great. Grade: A- Jackson lives up to the outstanding reputation of his siblings in the Great American Restaurants Group. In a recent conversation about their restaurants with a chef in a local high-end facility, we both said that they share an important property – consistency. Jackson met the standard with ease. The service is excellent, with all waiting staff extremely competent and ready to help. It's a bit loud, especially on the bar side, its only drawback in our book. But the food is and should be why you want to come here. Every dish was designed by someone who knew food and prepared by someone who knew how to prepare it. Beginning with the appetizers, deviled eggs with seasoned pecans sugar cured bacon were addicted, with a strange combination of flavors that works beautifully. Crispy sweet mad kalamari were wonderful and plentiful. It is rare that I will be blown away from a salad, but Billy's chop house salad, mixed greens with a number of ingredients, including fresh corn from the cob, has an incredible buttermilk herbal dressing that almost had I lick the remains. Grouping fingers, represented as fish chips, were perfect. Not less exquisite was the huge part of the main rib, even better made with her grated horseradish. Every aspect of the meal was immaculate, and it would take a mere mention of Jackson to bring me back."
