The Cajun restaurant may modify its hours in the first few weeks of service, according to the email. Right now, the restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Sunday. It was open for dinner only on Tuesday and closed on Monday, which was Memorial Day.

The Lawrenceville location does not offer to-go orders, happy hour or patio dining at this time, but will in the future. Updates will be posted on the restaurant's website and social media accounts.

This is the second Pappadeaux location in Gwinnett County. The first, in Norcross, has been open for more than 25 years. The restaurant specializes in New Orleans-style seafood dishes, serving crispy fried alligator, etouffee and gumbo.

You can visit the restaurant at 2038 Duluth Highway in Lawrenceville. The current hours are:

Wednesdays and Thursdays,  11 a.m to 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
