Yeah, I grew up in New Jersey as well. A bit farther south than you so my diner visits included: Oaklyn Diner, Ponzio's, Country Club, Diamond, Olga's, Weber's and a few more I'm sure.
Ahhh diner food. $5.95 would get you a basket of homemade bread, soup (snapper soup was a common diner flavor), salad, entree (chicken croquettes, stuffed flounder and turkey dinner were my faves), choice of two side dishes from a list of about twenty items and dessert! Usually chocolate pudding or jell-o but there was also plentiful choices from the electrically-rotating dessert display case. Of course, a spoonful of those sugary mints by the cashier on the way out.
