Some lunches end with a single plate. Others end with a fourth trip, a cleared tray of crab legs, and a quiet promise to skip dinner. In north Phoenix, a sprawling buffet near the old Metro Center area has been feeding big appetites for years, and it opens its doors at 11 AM every single day of the week.
