Here are the results.

Mostly As: Oakham Café

The Oakham Café is a gem on campus. It is the place to be if you want to grab something to-go before sprinting out to catch the bus or when you need to study for an exam. They offer quick service, friendly servers and an overall great atmosphere for students. Most of the food here is inexpensive and delicious, but their fries and burgers are what the kids call fire or “where it’s at!”

Mostly Bs: Kelly’s Landing

Do you enjoy eating on the patio and watching a game while eating? If so, stop by Kelly’s Landing! They have a large selection of delicacies on the menu, such as paper-thin crust pizza and a peanut crumble chocolate mousse that’ll have you licking your fingers. The staff are very attentive and friendly and if their food doesn’t unalive you with how delicious it is, surely the volume of their music will! 

Mostly Cs: Gyubee Japanese Grill

If Cs can get you degrees, then they can also get you a fantastic spot to eat! Gyubee is a great place to go as it offers you the experience of cooking your own food and has a wide selection of seafood, pork and vegetables. Did I mention it’s an all-you-can-eat-buffet? Although, I highly recommend that you eat here around dinner time as it will allow you to have more options available on their menu!

Mostly Ds: La Génie Bakery & Espresso 

Visit La Génie if you want to enjoy exquisite modern French pastries without taking a direct flight to Paris! A minor downside is that you may have to stand while eating as there aren’t many seats available, but you are welcome to bring your own chair—not really! When you visit, I strongly recommend trying their best-selling strawberry tart!

Mostly Es: Salad King

You appear to have a taste for adventure! Salad King is the spot if you want to experience Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine while imagining you’re sitting at the beach under palm trees. It’s also an excellent place to test your spice tolerance, as Thai food is notoriously spicy or, in other words, HAWTTT. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, their mango sticky rice has a sweet flavour with notes of the tropics from the creamy coconut milk!
