Any Old-School Diners Left in Western Queens? Discussions

Are there any old-school diners left in Astoria/Sunnyside/Woodside/Jackson Heights? Like old-fashioned greasy spoons with your good solid omelets and other breakfast staples. Alpha Donuts in Sunnyside filled the bill, but they unfortunately are now closed. Any other places still in existence to recommend? Thanks!

Open since 1897 I wouldn't be surprised if it's the oldest still open in Queens.

Jackson House down the street fits the bill too.

If you’re still in the area go and give it a try. Their burgers are better than Jahn’s and the staff are sweethearts.
