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

I tried the scrabble dog since that is a Columbus local favorite.That had to be the most disgusting thing I ever ate in my life. What a mess and the color of the dog it a complete turn off. Yucky!!! read more

Poor service. Food was not really on point and staff was rude. Order was wrong how do you forget the hotdog on a hotdog Order. Save your money and try somewhere else. read more

Too expensive! Was NOT impressed at all. Lemonade was good. 2 chilli dogsw/slaw, fries, and lemonade was $15 and some change!

I have lived in the area for 20 yrs and heard folks talk about Dinglewood. I visited about a month ago and was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Really Columbus GA? Not anything to write home about, red skinned cheap hot dog with toppings that had minimal flavor. PLUS....they charge me extra because I wanted it 'To Go'. Oh....and the staff was not very friendly at all. Why would I even think about coming back?? read more

At one time most Southern pharmacies had lunch counters. Dinglewood is one of the few remaining. Founded in 1918, they are in their 3rd location, less than half a mile from where they started. A scrambled dog and a 'fountain' cherry Coke is my favorite, but there are plenty of other items on the menu. The chicken salad sandwich is another southern favorite. Although Lieutenant has officially retired, he is still there working on many days. Lieutenant apprenticed under Sport Brown. There is one picture of Sport Brown on the wall in the back. Saturdays are the busiest day by far. A great place to see and visit friends while you wait and while you eat. If you are tired of chain fast food for lunch, or just want a taste of the old South, Dinglewood is a must. By the way, they offer fantastic, personal Pharmacy service too. read more

That would be Lieutenant, of course. Not Major. But, yeah. He was a staple. He is missed. Ernestine does a wonderful job, though. And, she's been there a long, long time in her own right. All of the counter help is wonderful. They're usually more than happy to playfully converse with customers, as long as they aren't being run ragged. You have to engage them in convo, though. As for the pharmacy, Mr Terry Hurley and all of his help behind the counter will bend over backwards to get the customer what they need. All very, very nice people, too. And, service is very speedy.. It's the best kind of hometown, small Pharmacy. It's all personal and charming. read more

After many good experiences there I must say I was very disappointed with my most recent experience with them. I live in Atlanta and when I finally got someone to answer the phone, was transferred to Pharmacy and explained what I wanted - a care gift delivered to my daughter who has been sick for over a month (since I live out of town). She lives 2 blocks from Dinglewood so it seemed an easy task to me and to the pharmacist to whom I spoke. He had assured me they could deliver something that afternoon, took my credit card info and her address and said they would send something appropriate as a cheer her up gift and card saying "Get Well Love Mom." I asked my daughter if she'd gotten a delivery. NO I told her I'd asked them to deliver something just to let her know I was thinking of her and to cheer her up. She said she had to go to get some things so she would stop in and ask about it. After standing in line the woman said "We don't take credit cards over the phone" But of course they had. AND had the nerve to say "We have nothing in that price range" boy did that make me look like a cheapskate or what? REALLY??? I feel sure I could find several things that would make a nice little gift for $25.00 in a drug store. To top it off she never said "I'm so sorry we couldn't send you something as promised." or anything at all in the way of an apology. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DINGLEWOOD PHARMACY AND THOSE WHO LET ME DOWN. Growing up in a drug store family I still love that they have a fountain and food. read more

I've been twice. Both times I left wondering what all the hype was about and also wondering how in the world I had just spent so much money on hot dogs and chili. I'm convinced the place is running on sentimental value alone. There is absolutely nothing special about the chili, the hot-dogs, or the service. There's not a lot of seating space so if you come during a rush you're going to wait quite some time to be seated. It might be worth a visit just to say you've been there, but don't expect too much. read more

A Dinglewood scrambled dog is life. This place is a staple in Columbus. If you are visiting, you have to stop by here. Quick service, good food, great prices. Also, you can get your prescription filled while you're here lol. read more

I've been going to see lieutenant (Lou) since I was five years old (I'm 58). I am a hotdog officiant. The first thing I do when I travel is look up local hotdog places. I'm in Tampa this week and will be going to mels. The scrambled dog is the best hotdog in the world. To bad that Lou could not still be there, but at 80 I guess you have to retire sometime. The varsity in Atlanta is pretty good, but no one makes a dog like dinglewood! read more

The slaw dogs are great! Lots of neat nick knacks for sale.

I'll have to admit I haven't tried a Dinglewood Scrambled Dog in over 50 years, so I don't really remember what it was all about. But there is one thing that is missing from all the reviews is where the Scrambled Dog originated. It was not Dinglewood but Firm Roberts, sorta on the outskirts of Columbus. I remember Firm's dogs were excellent and filling. I'll have to say the best scrambled dog I ate when I lived 'way down there, was at a restaurant in Phenix City that was called The Golden Rule Cafe. It was on 4th Avenue, just off 14th Street. I can't remember who owned it (The owner was involved in the Phenix City Mob at that time), but the manager was named France Nighten. I can't tell you now, 60 years later, what made that dog so good. I just remember it was the best in both towns at the time. Besides, you could play the slot machines while waiting for your scrambled dog to come up! read more

I wish the Lieutemant was still there. I haven't been back to GA since 1975, arriving in July and I can't wait to eat a scrambled dog. Gosh, what good memories. This may not be five-star food but sometimes you just need comfort food at it's finest! read more

These jerks. The lady was very rude and told me there was nothing we could do to a question that I wasn't even asking, I was just wanting to know something simple. Stay away from this place, they are typical columbus jerks. Just told me to go to a doctor. read more

People that douse their food in hot sauce don't have taste buds to know what good food is. Why has everyone forgotten how fast the service is? No Mexican cafe in town can touch them. I don't think the chili pot ever gets washed, they just keep adding ingredients to it every day and let it simmer (that makes it better). So many other Chili Pots in Georgia are straight from a can and "gritty". No Grit Here at Dinglewood. read more

Way overrated, the owner Terry Hurley is rude and snotty acting the place looks dirty.... the chili was watery and they use cheap pink CV wieners. Will never eat there again. read more

I've lived in Columbus 20 years but never had a chance to visit "the famous" Dinglewood until today. We waited in line for a table about 5 minutes, and took a booth when available. We sat for 10 minutes and was acknowledged by NO ONE at all. The server took the order of two other groups who were in line after us, sat down after us, and seated at tables directly next to us. After seeing these groups gain service while we sat there, ready to order, we left. As we left, another server busied herself getting the table behind us ready for yet another group. I am not impressed, and I will never return. I'll also add that we went a few doors down and received great service, within 5 minutes, from friendly workers who checked on our needs during and after our meal. This consistent model of superior service restaurant is Chic-fil-a, where the drive through line was wrapped around the building and the restaurant was filled with more than twice the crowd at Dinglewood. read more
