Von's restaurant, first known as Rippe's, opened in 1910 on Pike Street. In 1923, the restaurant moved to 1423 4th Avenue and began serving food 24 hours a day. Owner Frank Rippe closed his cafe in October 1940, and the business was purchased 3 months later by Seattle movie theater magnate John G. von Herberg, with the new name of Von's Cafe.

The back of the menu includes a short history of the restaurant.
