Bogue's

Bogue's is a diner-style restaurant located at 3028 Clairmont Avenue in Lakeview. Andy Straynor and Charlie Lawrence 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 "Mr & Mrs Bogue" and promised that Mrs Bogue personally supervised the preparation of all the desserts on premises.

The restaurant has been owned since 2006 by Daryl Whitfield, who leases the property from its Arizona owner.

The restaurant is best known for its breakfast with orange rolls and its vegetable plates at lunch. It is not open in the evenings.

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.

A second location opened at 162 Oxmoor Road in West Homewood in August 7, 2007.
