It's been a while since I've had any, so my memory is a little rusty, but I think they're basically a hot cereal, like oatmeal or cream-of-wheat. The difference is that grits are thicker than other cereals and are eaten on a plate with a fork instead of in a bowl with a spoon. I usually think of grits being served topped with butter and with sausages on the side, instead of with sugar or fruit like other hot cereals.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I could go to wikipedia to check, but if you had wanted their answer, you probably would have just gone there.

Edit: I did check the wikipedia article after all. It specified that grits are made of ground corn. The picture in the article showed grits in a bowl, so I may have been wrong about the "plate instead of a bowl" aspect of my answer. Oh well.
