A pregnant woman from Owensboro, Kentucky, said in a TikTok video that she was surprised to learn Texas Roadhouse sells a dozen of its rolls for $4.99, along with a large serving of cinnamon butter. The woman, who goes by Mama Jill on TikTok (@jill200016), shared the video while sitting in her car after picking up the order through curbside pickup.
In the video, Jill said, “I don’t know what other pregnant woman needs to hear this, but you can buy a dozen Texas Roadhouse rolls for $4.99 and get a giant thing of cinnamon butter.” She held up a cardboard box filled with the rolls along with a white styrofoam cup of cinnamon butter.
Jill said the rolls were “fresh, warm, and even better, I’m in my jammies,” and added that she placed the order as a curbside pickup. She said, “Are you kidding me? I’ve been craving these. Oh my God.”
Woman says she treated herself to the rolls while picking up a Father’s day gift
Jill said she was picking up a Father’s Day gift for someone named Brandon when she decided to order the rolls for herself. She said, “Picking up Brandon’s Father’s Day gift. I had to gift myself a dozen rolls.” Texas Roadhouse orders can lead to unexpected surprises too, like when a woman accidentally ordered a 16 ounce sirloin and her husband suddenly went quiet.

In the video, Jill tore off a piece of a roll, dipped it into the cinnamon butter, and took a bite. She then said, “Life’s not so bad, you know. There are good sides of life. This right here is the best side.” She held the buttered roll up to the camera and said, “You can’t – look at the butter,” before taking another bite.
Jill also said she told her family about the rolls before heading home. She said, “Unfortunately, I did tell my family, so I’m gonna go home and share it, but I’m eating mine first.” She added that she made sure to get enough cinnamon butter for herself. Showing the cup of butter to the camera again, she said, “And don’t worry, I got 2 things of the cinnamon butter. I wasn’t playing around.”
Food cravings during pregnancy are considered normal and common, according to UNICEF, which states that up to 9 in 10 pregnant women experience them. UNICEF also states that cravings can begin as early as the first trimester.
According to UNICEF, no one knows for certain what causes pregnancy cravings, though several theories exist. One theory holds that pregnancy hormones may sharpen the senses of smell and taste, which can make certain foods seem more appealing.
UNICEF also states that cravings may be shaped by psychological and cultural factors, noting that pregnancy is often viewed as a time when women feel they can eat what they want without restriction. Food cravings may vary widely by culture, with chocolate being the most commonly craved food in the United States, while rice is more commonly craved in Japan.
The video received comments from viewers, some of which referenced their own experiences with pregnancy or food cravings. One commenter wrote, “no pregnant but will be doing this thank you.” Another commenter wrote, “When I was pregnant I’d do the SAME THING… Then drive to Chick-fil-A and buy a gallon of sweet tea.”
A separate commenter shared what they said was a reaction from their spouse, writing, “According to my wife and I quote. ‘Why do you have to be pregnant’ (with attitude. Lmao).”
