Davo’s Philly Cheesesteaks, a new food truck from a Philadelphia native, is set to roll into St. Augustine this spring, promising ribeye-heavy sandwiches on fresh-baked rolls topped the classic Philly way. Early menu art teases 12-inch cheesesteaks stacked with premium shaved ribeye, Cooper Sharp American cheese and optional grilled onions ordered “wit” or “wit-out.” The truck is also touting a house “Jawn” sauce and whole hot cherry peppers on the side for anyone who likes a little extra heat with their history tour.
Owner David DiNenna has already started stirring up interest online. In a post to the Facebook group Nocatee Share and Support Small Business, he wrote, “Davo’s Cheesesteaks is bringing something the South has never had before - the real Philly cheesesteak experience,” as reported by What Now. The outlet also reports the truck is slated to launch this spring and notes that reporters reached out to DiNenna, who was not immediately available for comment.
Menu and "Jawn" Sauce
The business's own menu art lays out a tight, no-nonsense lineup: 12-inch “real ribeye” cheesesteaks (priced at $18 in the image), chips, drinks and sauces billed as “Spicy Jawn” and “Garlic Jawn.” As shown on the Davo's menu at Davo's Philly Cheesesteaks, the truck leans hard into Philly slang and promises “fresh baked rolls” with what it calls the “perfect meat-to-roll ratio.” The menu also highlights the “coop wit” and “wit-out” options, letting customers decide whether they want their cheesesteak crowned with grilled onions.
What St. Augustine Fans Can Expect
The food-truck setup suggests Davo’s will chase lunch crowds, local events and the constant stream of tourists moving through the Ancient City, though the owner has not yet published a fixed service location. If the planned spring launch holds, St. Augustine will get a dedicated cheesesteak option tailored to diners who prefer shaved ribeye over the more common sliced versions. Local food fans and Philly transplants will likely be refreshing the truck's social pages for pop-up locations and first-look photos.
For updates and opening-day details, the business directs would-be customers to its website and social accounts, and the homepage currently lists only St. Augustine. For now, Davo's appears focused on building buzz with menu shots and the promise of “Authentic Philly Flavor” ahead of its spring rollout, per What Now.
