Google tells me grits is basically porridge with corn instead of oats. Do people eat this as dinner?

We call porridge "oatmeal".
And grits, as I said, is plain in itself but you're not supposed to eat it plain just like you don't eat oatmeal plain; we put brown sugar & **** in our oatmeal.
With grits, you can either make them sweet or salty. I've never had either but I hear both can be delish.
