barra/mesa de autoservicio / Buffet
Explanation:

Creo que, en el contexto de la hostelería, podría ser esto.
"Set up a fix-it bar with chopped tomatoes, pre-packaged shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and taco shells for a quick dinner."
"Eat at the CS spots that serve big portions - share between 2 to 4 people - Pecos Bills (taco salad that just keeps on giving via the fixit bar),"
"This place has the BEST chicken salads it was soooo good, my hubby liked the fixit bar which was also nice "

la barra de reparación


Explanation:
La palabra "fixit" no existe como tal, viene del verbo "to fix" que es arreglar; por lo tanto con "it" está sustantivado y, la podemos traducir como reparación.
