toppings bar

Self-serve additions area

A toppings bar is a self-service station where customers add their own garnishes or extras to food—common at salad bars, frozen yogurt shops, baked potato restaurants, and taco places.

The appeal is customization: The kids went wild at the toppings bar.

Hot dog stands and ice cream parlors often feature them.
