I like them! I'm not from the south, but I've been eating them all my life. They're definitely coarser than oatmeal (which I also love) but they're more (imo) filling too.
I've never tried them with sugar, but raisins and cinnamon/sugar is good. Also, when I have an upset stomach, grits with butter and salt seem to be very soothing and filling without making me sick.
On the other hand, I don't care for cream of wheat; it had a weird sort of aftertaste the couple of times I tried it.
