Long Island/Queens diners?

[gandro]

Can anyone recommend a solid good diner in Long Island?
A place open until 10pm or later.
The Pantry diner (in Rockville Centre) was great - but has been closed since November from fire.
I've tried several others, and they were fair to mediocre at best.
I'm willing to drive as far as queens to find good diner food.
Thanks

A nice large, up to date with parking, I recommend the East Bay on Merrick in Seaford, between Seaford-Oyster Bay and the Wantagh Pkwy... check Yelp for recommendations

The Sherwood, on Rockaway Tpk in Lawrence. Very good reliable diner food open very early and very late!

We love diners but we have the K.I.S.S. rule!! I'll explain if you don't know.

Also, I.M.H.O. they aren't worth their salt if not open 24/7.

That being said: Lake Grove Diner near the Smith Have Mall rocks!! We also like Premier.

I like the Hidden Pond Diner in Hauppauge (Route 111 and Route 347, SE corner). It is much better than the Paradise Diner on Route 454. Good food and good service. Excellent management at the Hidden Pond.

Premier DIner, Commack Rd, Commack, just south of the LIE. Maybe the Landmark on 25A in Manhasset. I used to like the Millenium Diner at the corner of 25 and 111 in Smithtown, but I've been told it's no longer all that, can't give a personal opinion. Here's a list with reviews from Newsday: http://long-island.newsday.com/restaurants/long-island-s-best-diners-1.1647385?p= Not necessarily up to date and I've read from others that Thomas's is not so great.

Point of information; only subscribers to Newsday or Optimum on line can access their website. Second, i used to think the Premier diner was good until I ordered a chicken pot pie which was totally flour with nil amount of chicken. Stay away from this item.
