    Dinglewood dog sans forgotten oyster crackers
    Amy B.

    So I realize this is considered a Columbus institution but either the food used to be much better or people are looking through a nostalgia lens. I had the much lauded dinglewood dog. First they forgot the oyster crackers. Second that chili was the most flavorless chili I have ever had. The hot dog is also one of those cheap red hot dogs. Overall nothing deserving of praise. The fries on the side were soggy as well. It was not a good price for the quality of food I received. I wouldn't go back as I can make a better hot dog at home or at one of the other restaurants in town who also make hot dogs.

    Took the whole family while visiting Ft Benning. Most of us ordered the famous scrambled dog. The dogs were sliced, not very big and was served "luke warm". Very mild taste. Meh. A bit on the pricey side.

    Neat little spot. If you stop in, do yourself a favor and try their [almost] world famous Scramble Dog! They say they close at 6pm, but the cook was almost packed up by 5:30p and out the door at 5:40p and we could no longer get service. This place likes to be locking the doors at 6p and not serving customers UNTIL 6p...my only gripe. -1 star for not holding true to hours. Get there early enough and this isn't a problem.

    It was mid afternoon when we arrived at Dinglewood Pharmacy was very busy. Folks waiting for tables and a wait to place a to-go order. The servers seemed stressed but I had no problem being patient. We were about to try our first scrambled dogs and that's not a moment to be rushed. We eventually placed our to-go order and explored the pharmacy a bit until the food was ready. We got a scrambled dog, a Mexican scrambled dog, onion rings, and one of their cherry lemon sodas. Because the restaurant was so busy, it took a bit of time for our food to be prepared. When it was ready, we took it to Dinglewood Park and ate at their picnic tables. Unfortunately, I don't think the scrambled dog is my preferred style. Because everything is swimming in chili the majority of bites lack any sort of texture. The chili also has beans which I've always thought is a hot dog chili "no no." I know everyone has their way of doing things, but this isn't it for me. On a brighter note, the onion rings were really good as was the soda. I love that this is a community institution and may it continue being that.

    I am visiting colga for the week and my best friend wanted to go to lunch! She told me she was gonna take me to a Columbus classic, and she was right! This place was so cool- like an old soda counter but for hot dogs. There is a full pharmacy inside, but also plenty of seating for the lunch bar. It was packed! The food was pretty average but exactly what you would expect, the workers were SO friendly and joked around with us. A little pricey for a hot dog, but it was great to try this place!

    Their menu. Over 100 years in business!

    Stopped for lunch at the famous Dinglewood Pharmacy's lunch counter while traveling through Columbus GA; my Wife's home town. They are famous around these parts for their Scramble Dog. It is a dish filled with a cut up hot dog on a bun covered in Chili, Onions, Pickles, and yellow mustard, and chili crackers. Sounds scary... but really a decadent tasty delight! Very clean, Low prices, easy parking, and friendly service. They offer a menu of many lunch items. Try the Pimento Cheese Sammy! Very nostalgic and lots of fun! The place is usually packed.

    I know this is a landmark and everything but I really thought this place was just, all right. A scramble dog is just a chili dog that's been cut up and if I'm going to rate a chili dog. I would have to say that it's weak and not worth your time. The chili was weak, not very thick but more importantly, not very tasty it had me reaching for the hot sauce a handful of times before I finished. I didn't get a fountain soda, but I did get their homemade lemonade which was pretty good but the meal itself wasn't very good. The fries, were pretty standard and just like the chili dog could use improvement. I know there are a bunch of places here that also serve scramble dogs but after this place, I'm not sure if I want to try them anymore.

    $8 for a bland scramble dog and a tea.

    Not sure why people kept telling me to eat here. Worst scramble dog I've ever had and very overpriced. Go to Cooks instead...

    If you're an out of towner and want to get some Columbus flavor, Dinglewood is a fun stop. I agree with Erin K. You don't really come here for the food. You come here for the experience and to say that you've been to the home of the scramble dog. Does it deserve a 5 rating? Probably not, but it really has been an interesting part of the this Columbus trip that I recommend it to anyone from out of town. I always like to find signature items of wherever I travel. I came to this old establishment on recommendations. The concept of selling sodium and fat filled hot dogs at a Pharmacy (place to get meds to help IMPROVE your health) is completely foreign to me. Then again, in some states, like California, some pharmacies sell liquor, so I guess selling a hot dog here isn't that bad. Sorry, I have digressed. I sat down at the modest counter. The place was reminiscent of the days of soda jerks and barber shop quartets. The background music even played popular songs from the 40s like the Chordettes. I was motioned to order. Having heard so much about this scramble dog, it was an easy choice, only I didn't know what a scramble dog is. It was like a blind date with fast food. I had heard so many nice things but really didn't know what to expect. It only took a matter of seconds before I learned that it is a chopped up hot dog in a bun, smothered with chilli and topped with onions, pickles, and oyster crackers. This was the most unusual hot dog concoction that I had seen since eating hot dogs with goldfish crackers outside of Vision Nightclub. The hot dogs at Dinglewood are practically neon pink. If they turned out the lights, I'm almost convinced they'd glow. The dish was pretty good. Props for innovation! The chili was not bad, and I was happy to find that it wasn't too salty, as much of the southern food in Columbus is. I asked about the history of the "scramble dog". The man was unimpressed with my fascination with this famous Columbus dish. (He gave me a look that pretty much screamed..."oh, you're not from around here") I'm sure he's told this story a bazillion times, but he humored me and told the story about "The Lieutenant" and the owner and how Dinglewood was the original home of the "scramble dog". He even had pictures to go along with the story. It was a nice experience and I'd recommend it if you're looking for something unique to Columbus. The place also has ice cream, sodas, and tons of meds in case you want something for that heartburn after eating.

    Hidden hotdog gem within the limits of Columbus, GA. Went with a friend who grew up in the area for a quick lunch. Arrived around 12pm. Sat down at a booth and immediately placed an order for the famous scramble dog. Now, I was a bit surprised to see that it was a mini old school feel, diner-esque vibe within the confines of the "Dinglewood Pharmacy" It was decent for the history of the place and kinda neat to sit down and grab a quick bite at a place that is far from the typical. Check it out. Knock it off the foodie bucket list and move on. I'll prob come back now and then. I kinda enjoyed the place.

    A scrambled dog with cheese is one of my favorite comfort foods when I visit my hometown of Columbus! Love it!

    So I was just hung up on by a pharmaceutical technician when I called to ask why my son's…read moremedications were shorted. His behavior is night and day difference on and off medication, and years ago I noticed that some days he would be spacing out and others he would be restless even though he took the same pill at the same time every day. One day I saw the capsules in the light and there were different levels, so I bought a pharmaceutical grade scale (down to 0.001mg accuracy) and made sure it was calibrated, then did a quality control check on his meds. For a 15mg prescription, what was inside those capsules usually ranged from 12mg-18mg which would explain the shifts in reactions to his meds since as little as 3-5mg changed the reaction and I didn't want him overdosing especially. Normally I am one of those types that believes the best intentions unless direct evidence is brought forth, but I'm not gullible. It could be a machine glitched or a tech was still training, right? So in the past I would painstakingly make sure that all were 15mg and as a result his behavior leveled off. Problem solved. Today for his 15mg prescription I saw 10.6mg, 10.2mg, 7.6mg again and again 5-8mg less which is a big deal for his stability and the fact that we are paying for more than we're getting, which is upsetting. I called to ask what could have caused this shortage and they did say it was filled by hand by the pharmacist - not a technician, but was told a customer couldn't possibly know what they were talking about... Firstly I'm not stupid and I'm not talking anything overly complicated. It is weighing a single medication to check and make sure the numbers are the same and they're not - by a lot!! So she was rude, dismissive and hung up on me after *they* made a mistake with medication, the latter of which is a very serious deal! I will calibrate my scale *again* and if I'm wrong I will delete this review, but if I'm right I'm contacting corporate. If they are done by hand and it is this far off during a shortage, it's hard not to wonder if someone is skimming or trying to stretch medications when they should just say "we don't have enough to fill this prescription." While frustrating, I can respect that more than deception. Double check your meds, especially if you find their efficacy is variable or unpredictable. I would only give one star, but until today they have been neutral or friendly in customer service. But shorting prescriptions is a big deal and the way they handled it was wrong.

    Walgreens Pharmacy Personnel Customer Service and efficiency Sucks!…read moreI had never made or said a negative comment about anyone's customer service, but these people went over board. Anyone can make a mistake, own it and move on. We, after all, are humans. I placed a prescription to be filled. Walgreens called me when it was filled. I went a couple of days later. I was told that it needed to be filled out, I was surprised but ok, I waited. 1 1/2hr Was told that the new card for 2024 was invalid or not activated. That they were calling insurance offices to confirm, that perhaps I should come back another day. I was there, the tech was not calling anyone!! total lie!!!. There is only one insurance office to call. What actually happened: Walgreens made the mistake of filling out the wrong med.! Instead of saying the wrong med was filled out, they gave me the reason that the Insurance Card was not activated and to come back another day. (I had called insurance company from home to make sure all would be set) I went to my car and called insurance company again and that's when the insurance company told me that the wrong med was filled and that is why the Insurance company declined the authorization. It was too soon for that particular med to be refilled. Insurance company called in my behalf to straighten it out and the Pharmacy Tech, declined to answer the phone calls claiming she was too busy. I WAS THERE , SHE WAS NOT THAT BUSY to answer the phone and have the matter cleared. A manager with a sour attitude came out shouting at me that they were filling out the correct prescription.. I'm an educated person, I resented how this manager addressed me. Obviously her team's attitude reflects hers. By now 3 hours had elapsed. I walked out without any med. I do not recommend this pharmacy. BEWARE! Apparently their parents forgot to teach them, kindness, empathy for the sick , and honesty.

    I had placed a Walmart pickup order for the follow day for my husband to pick up since I'm home…read moresick with covid. When he went to pick it up almost an hour later than the time it said it would be ready the lady that came up to the car asked him, "unless you got a text saying it's ready then it's not ready" he asked her if she had an estimated time and she just shrugged and walked off. He sat there for 2 hours and never received them. We called customer support and was told they had changed it from pickup to delivery and we would receive them the next day. Guess what never showed. Called customer support again to be told "due to covid we have lack of staff and drivers but we can refund you and you can go inside the store to do your shopping" Honestly I get it covid has messed everyone up but if you can't do pickups or delivery's don't give estimated times. And if someone calls about their groceries don't give them the run around just be honest. If we had been told "honestly you'd be better off getting a refund we're really backed up" we wouldn't be so pissed.

I had a few items plus 2 cases of water that I scanned. A associate came over to check and see if I scanned both cases of water. I was offended that she thinks I'm trying to steal one.
