Dinglewood Pharmacy, Columbus, Georgia

Dinglewood Pharmacy is your typical small town pharmacy, half retail and half restaurant. If you come during the noon time hour be ready to stand around, because there is always a crowd. If there are no open tables feel free to stand around and wait or you can always get a to-go order. The day Poncho and Lefty visited they only had to wait 10-15 minutes, though a much longer wait is not uncommon.

Once they found an open table it took the waitress a while to find them. After about 30 minutes Poncho was ready to leave, so Lefty flagged the waitress down and was able to get the process started. Poncho was bit indecisive as to what she would have and settled with a grilled ham and cheese on wheat. Lefty came ready to try the world famous “Scrambled Dog.”

Scramble Dog: Chopped up hot dog on a bun served in an oval bowl with lots of fixings. Fixings included but are not limited to the following: mustard, ketchup, cole slaw, thinly diced onions, pickles, secret recipe chili and oyster crackers. When ordering the “Scramble Dog” make sure you have utensils ready and plenty of napkins.

Dinglewood’s Pharmacy is the kind of place where major business deals take place next to the stories of the big fish that eluded the homegrown angler. The fair was not determined to be blue ribbon, but Lefty says the experience of the “Scramble dog” is not to be missed. The next time you are in Columbus stop in, enjoy a “Scramble Dog,” and listen to the stories of neighbors.
