Eight Settlers Distillery & Restaurant is the culmination of a longtime dream to build a distillery and share the finest local foods with our community. Eight Settlers is a blend of the 1850’s traditional vintage western style with a modern twist of the second industrial revolution. The Chef’s inspiration for the menu is Modern American with traditional twists, while the spirits are distilled and blended to the highest standards with the best grains available.

    Always a treat to eat at Eight Settlers. There are not a lot of independent restaurants in the Sandy/Cottonwood Heights area. Unbelievable how all of the independents deliver on our expectations. We had lunch- three women who have been friends for years. It was a perfect setting. Good lunch menu with fabulous salads (two of us had those). The third person, kind of out of character, ordered the fried chicken sandwich. She has no regreats.

    Hi Constance, Thank you for your kind words! We’re honored to be a part of your lunch gathering and thrilled that you all enjoyed your meals. It’s always wonderful to hear when our salads and fried chicken sandwich hit the mark! We truly appreciate your support for independent restaurants in the area and look forward to welcoming you back for more great meals and memories. See you again soon!

    Since the last time we were there the brunch menu has gone downhill. The waffle was not as good as it had been and they've taken the croissant french toast off the menu. Ombiance was good, just wish the food was better for the prices. Also ordered a "hot" chocolate that wasn't even lukewarm.

    After 90 minutes we still didn’t have our entrees. I left feeling sad and hungry. Still spent $100 or so on drinks and appetizer. Went home and had cold pizza for Valentine’s Day. What a massive disappointment.

    Hi David, Just a quick follow up to see if you would like us to make a reservation for your next visit. Please let us know if we can help. Thank you, Katia

    Very busy and backed up on Valentine’s Day but it’s understandable as are most restaurants. I probably spent 3 hours there from time of arrival for a reservation to leaving with a lot of that time waiting for food, but again it’s understandable for the day. The ribeye steak had a lot more fat than most would prefer (maybe 30-40% of area) and the collagen connective tissue in the steak was still tough and had to spit out/cut around it. I like fat though so I didn’t mind too much. The bacon wrapped dates were fantastic though.

    The restaurant has a great ambiance. It’s different from the usual, with beautiful mountain views. My server was great, but overall, the service didn’t meet the expectations. The menu offers a good selection of alcoholic beverages. The downside was the wait—45 minutes for the food! That’s way too long for a single dish. Unfortunately, this turned what seemed like a promising experience into something disappointing.
    Eight Settlers DistilleryResponded on February 15, 2025
    Hi Mario, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance, mountain views, and service from your server! However, I’m truly sorry that the wait time for your meal fell short of expectations. We strive to provide both quality and efficiency, and I understand how a long wait can affect your overall experience. I appreciate your feedback and will be addressing this with our team to improve our service. I hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the experience we aim for. Best, Katia
