A 10-year-old girl is feeling the love after making a special request involving a Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Surprise, Ariz.

 

Abi Miller decided to pen a note to the chain restaurant after a school assignment involving writing letters. In the letter, Abi expressed her love for the steak chain's food — and her desire to work there, according to AZ Family.

 

"I like your rolls and I love your hamburgers," she wrote in the letter, per Fox 10.

 

In hopes of getting hired, Abi also left her mom's phone number on the note so that she could be contacted for a job interview.

 

“I am a great chef,” she noted at the bottom of her letter. 

 

Abi’s message caught the attention of the Texas Roadhouse location's managing partner, James Andros, who told Fox 10, "It's very seldom we get a letter from a younger one of our guests.”

 

While he couldn't hire the child, he invited her to swing by for a meal and merchandise, including a branded t-shirt, a button, pens and a travel cup.

 

The girl’s parents Ashley and Pat Miller said the experience “made her feel really special.”

 

"It did good in my heart for sure," her parents told the outlet. "She's motivated, she's excited, she's going to do great things.”

 

"I just like being with other people and helping out them," Abi said, adding that the experience “really inspired me.”

 

During the girl’s visit, she also captured a pic with mascot Andy Armadillo.
