About Us

Papa 'n SonPapa-N-Son’s was established nine years ago in Augusta, GA as Dino’s Chicago Express by Chicago transplants Dino and Bill Dakuras. Their story is classic; Dino had recently graduated from college and was working in corporate  America in Florida. Now, if you’ve ever known a Greek Family, hundreds of miles away is just too far to live from one another, so Dino decided to move where his parents now live, Augusta, GA. For many years the family tossed around the idea of opening a Chicago-style restaurant because getting Chicago food down south was an extreme challenge. However, it wasn’t until September of 2000, sipping coffee in Greek Town with his cousin, that the question was asked, “Why not open a Chicago hot dog joint?” One phone call later and the rest is history. Fortunately, The Dakuras Family has deep roots in Chicago with family ties not only in the restaurant business, but also in food distribution, and it was through those ties Dino’s Chicago Express was born. After seven years, the second location was opened and nine years later, this exciting, unique concept is offered to a select group of franchisees who share our passion for everything Chicago.
