Nothing really, they all express voraciously eating something. The latter two phrases are more illustrative and imply an animalistic, unmannered way of eating.
'Devour' is a neutral, standard type of word to mean eating fast, without enjoying the food, etc.
'To wolf down' is an illustrative, simile-type idiomatic phrase. To invoke eating animalistically like a wolf.
'To gobble' is probably like an onomatopoeia mimicking the gobbling sounds of an animal when it's eating very quickly.
