Bogue's Restaurant is a diner-style restaurant located at 3028 Clairmont Avenue in Lakeview. Pat and Mildred Bogue opened the restaurant in 1938 and grew it into a formidable businessman's destination.
In 1946 the restaurant moved to its current location and was called Bogue's Highland Restaurant. A 1948 advertisement [1] featured portraits of the proprieters and promised that Mrs Bogue personally supervised the preparation of all the desserts on premises.

Andy Straynar, a veteran of Britling Cafeteria, bought the restaurant from the Bogues in 1968. Sometime in the mid-1970s he replaced the tables and chairs with orange-vinyl booths and added a wrought-iron railing to the front. He retired on April 1, 2000, turning the business over to his son, Greg.
The restaurant has been owned since 2006 by Daryl Whitfield, who leases the building from Curt Ruttle and Maria Hontzas Ruttle of Arizona.
The restaurant is best known for its breakfast with sweet rolls and its vegetable plates at lunch. It is not open in the evenings.
A second location opened at 162 Oxmoor Road in West Homewood in August 7, 2007.
In April 2010 a $6 million proposal was made by Connolly Net Lease of Lawrenceville, Georgia to demolish Bogue's, a neighboring service station, and Birmingham Fire Station No. 22 to construct a 14,250 square-foot Walgreen's pharmacy with a 62-car parking lot and drive-through window. In May of the same year, Whitfield received a delinquent tax notice from the city of Birmingham requesting payment of $129,852 in unpaid taxes from the period between January 2006 and February 2010. Whitfield disputed the amounts, stating that some of the unpaid taxes were from the period before he took ownership. In September 2010, Connolly confirmed that they would be able to renovate the fire station for Bogue's and another small retail tenant.
In February 2011, Whitfield's total unpaid taxes totaled $157,000. A February 17 hearing was set, with the purpose of shutting down the business.
