Nicer than it seems.
There ain't nothing like a Georgia peach.

Sweet tea is garbage.
Some of the barbecue is delicious.
There are more bugs than in Cyberpunk 2077.
For every few hamplanets there is a gorgeous bombshell in cutoffs that you'll pretend to love Florida-Georgia Line to talk to.

Regional identity (outside of sportsball loyalties) is vanishing. Now it feels like an urban Southerner has more in common with an urban Yankee, and a rural Southerner has more in common with a rural Yankee than the other way around.
Lots of immigrants, transplants, and carpetbaggers especially in the urban or suburban South are also diluting the regional identity.
I've generally had good impressions of the "old stock" and impressed by the tolerance and patience they've exercised in coming to terms with the influx of outsiders.

Too hot and humid. All the bad aspects of the rural Midwest with precious few of the good aspects.
Too many niggers, but at least the white people haven't trooned out or turned into faggots like most whites up north have.
You're going to have a lot of fun here, I can tell.

I've only been to Tennessee, but I loved it. Great food, getting called "Darlin" by Southern women, enthusiastic whisky pours, Copenhagen Wintergreen... I was planning to do a three month road trip through the South someday, hitting all the out of the way barbecue joints, but we'll see how that goes.
I'm sure it's different in different states, but I found the people (of all races) open and friendly, as long as you were polite and respectful. I found that Southerners were almost expecting to be looked down on, so when I was enthusiastic about the region they opened up and were proud to be helpful and generous.
OTOH, they did give my wife a straw every time she ordered a beer, which was odd.

Good food that makes you nice 'n fat. I need to gain some pounds.
I'm dying to visit the museum factory where they make cope. That's probably when I'd start a YouTube channel.
~ Don't get caught with Auburn colors anywhere west of the state line; expect to be bullied everywhere while driving if you have Auburn plates.
~ Jim 'n Nicks is NOT authentic BBQ; it's the redneck Applebees of boomer BBQ.
~ Everyone either owns a backhoe, or knows someone who does; behave accordingly.
~ Murder-rate is low; but suicide by multiple gunshot prior to self-immolation is common.
~ Walker County is full of hookers, deep holes & hitmen.
~ "Bless your heart" is not compliment.

Why eat a chain restaurant if you're visiting the South to begin with?
Because they're usually across the way from Walmart & Home Depot, and next to Chick-Fil-A; convenience is important when it's at least a 40mi round trip into the nearest town (even though it may only be 20 as a crow flies).
As far as visitors go, they don't stray far enough off the main drag to find really real BBQ. You gotta go deep, either in the hills or the hood. But by that point people generally aren't looking for food; so good luck finding anything but trouble without knowing a local.
Edit: Never drive slowly past homesteads in the hills of Alabama... no matter how many antique, quaint, and/or trashy curiosities lay around the yard. People who rarely have traffic they don't know are instantly interested in why someone is rubbernecking past their property (as in feral tweakers looking for anything to steal).

It’s a big place. Not everyone is a toothless, cousin-fucking hillbilly. And even some of those guys are okay.
I like the respect for social conventions. Most kids are brought up to address adults as Sir or Ma’am.
Although, it’s way too hot and humid for me. Best to visit in spring or fall.

If you're gonna stop at a Chick Fil A in the South, it's best that you go to the Dwarf House in Hapeville, Georgia.

I had my first Kiwifarms-based anxiety dream. Is this a shadow of things to come?
