Asian

Tom Tom Noodle House
Eat to the pulsating techno-pop beat at this hip, hop, and happening place where the Asian specialties are not always in sync. The menu is short and geared toward noodle- and rice-based dishes swirled with various combinations of beef, chicken, and shrimp. Too bad they have more style than taste. West Village, 3699 W. McKinney Ave., Ste. C319., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-522-1237. $$.

Burgers
Stoneleigh P
The eclectic crowd is always entertaining, but the food is really hit and miss. An Italian sausage sandwich was right on�spicy and covered with plenty of peppers. But our recent rancho deluxe burger was burnt and inedible. A slice of rich, bittersweet Godiva pie was a nice consolation. 2926 Maple Ave., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-871-2346. $.

Uptown Bar and Grill
Winner of this year�s best burger in Dallas competition (March 2002). Other bar fare is way above average as well. 2523 McKinney Ave. 214-969-9433. . $.

Barbeque

Peggy Sue BBQ
Peggy Sue's beats Sonny's by a rib in meats, side dishes, and sauces. And the smoked chicken quesadillas alone are worth a trip. 6600 Snider Plaza., Park Cities. 214-987-9188. $.

Sonny Bryan's
For 40 years, Sonny Bryan�s meaty ribs, moist brisket, and classic barbeque sauce have been the standards by which all other Dallas barbeque is judged. 325 N. St. Paul Street, C-4. 214-979-0102. $.

BW's BBQ
Old fashioned barbecue house less the sawdust. BW's serves barbecue beef, ribs, sausage and smoked turkey. Walk through line made to order. Lunch only. 2234 Irving Blvd. 214-905-4946. $.

Deli

P.D. Johnson's Dog Day Deli
This Uptown deli favorite is a welcome outpost of simplicity amid McKinney Avenue's fussier fare. 3839 McKinney Avenue 214-720-2227. $.

Eclectic
Frankie's Sports Bar and Grill Not your typical sports bar. Alongside video games, pool tables, and big-screen TVs, Frankie's serves some serious food, including barbeque duck quesadillas, yellowfin sashimi, and insanely rich garlic and goat cheese-stuffed tenderloin. 3227 McKinney Ave. @ Hall St. , Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-999-8932. $$.

Hector's on Henderson
Owner Hector Garcia has put fun back into fine dining. Outstanding entres include Not Your Mama's Meatloaf covered in sweet, hot tomato glaze served with lacquered baby carrots and white-truffle whipped potatoes. Dinner only. Full bar. 2929 N. Henderson Ave. 214-821-0432. $-$$$

Gourmet To Go

Eatzi's
Hear the strains of opera and waltz through the crowds collecting the already cooked makings of a gourmet dinner�down to the imported beer, fresh bread, and flowers. 3403 Oak Lawn Ave., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-526-1515. $

Italian
Rocco's Uptown Pizza & Pasta You risk your life trying to make the turn into the parking lot off the curve on McKinney, but the pizza here is worth a swerve. 2916 McKinney Ave., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-871-9207.. $$.

Mexican

Avila's Mexican Restaurant
The sound and smell of the cooks chopping fresh jalape�os and cilantro greet you at the door, along with the easygoing proprietor Ricky Avila. Fresh poblanos stuffed with chicken, cheese, or beef are the best relle�os in town. 4714 Maple Ave., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-520-2700. $.

Mattito's Cafe Mexicano
Since moving from its old digs on Oak Lawn Avenue into the former Routh Street space, Mattito's has spiced up its offerings with dishes more sophisticated than your typical chile con carne-smothered options. Pork ribs brushed with chipotle barbeque sauce and the carne asada de cascabel are both fiery delights. 3011 Routh St., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-526-8181. $$.

Chuy's Dallas
Classic Tex-Mex food, very casual, funky atmosphere. Great Bar. Great Food. 4544 McKinney Ave at Knox-Henderson. 214-559-2489. $-$$

Seafood

Hook, Line & Sinker
Don't kid yourself. This Crescent City-style shack is home to the best catfish in town, fried in peanut oil and almost grease-free. Go ahead and indulge. 3103 Lemmon Ave. @ McKinney Ave., Park Cities. 214-965-0707. $.


Steakhouses

Bob's Steak & Chop House
Now you can chow down on perfect steaks, crisp salads, and Bob's signature whole, glazed carrot at two locations with �Guy Town� atmospheres. The Plano outpost draws the same well-heeled crowd as the original, and the bar is always a destination for serious socializing. Onion rings are superb. 4300 Lemon Ave., Oak Lawn/Uptown. 214-528-9446. $$$.

Sullivan's Steakhouse
There is a hopping bar scene to the left and a jazz club to the right. In the middle dining room, the old-school steakhouse trappings are replaced with light art deco touches and youthful vigor. Undoubtedly the best bargain for steaks in town. Dinner only. 17795 N. Dallas Pkwy., Far North Dallas. 972-267-9393. $$$.

T-Bones
A unique steakhouse experience serving superb prime cuts of Certified Angus Beef grilled over mesquite wood. 2222 Stemmons Freeway (Inside the Renaissance) 214-631-2222 $$-$$$
