I ve never heard of a Lubbock restaurant remembered quite as fondly as Home Cafe.
Gone since 2012, many still crave those homestyle flavors. Here s the thing: Home Cafe never died; it simply evolved into The Crafthouse Gastropub (3131 34th Street).
It s still owned and operated by the amazing Diehl duo, Jason and Kate, who are both creative and highly-skilled chefs. Crafthouse Gastropub features a seasonal menu that s supplemented by daily specials. The food is simply sublime, and the cocktails delicious, elevated even.
If you long for those Home Cafe flavors of yesteryear, you re in luck. Crafthouse is now doing Home Cafe favorites as their daily specials. The chicken pot pie is so gorgeous it makes me tear up a little. (Why yes, I AM a Taurus! How did you know?)
