I'm about to get new cabinets and countertops for my kitchen. I've removed the old cabinets and countertops, but unfortunately the previous owners had a nasty tile countertop and it looks like grout made its way to the wall. My question is, do I just cut the drywall out and replace the section, or is there a smarter way to remove this grout? Note: when the new countertops are put in, this grout would be visible.

Personally I'd just scrape it off with a putty knife. If there are any dig and deep gouges after that step repair with spackle. Then give it a skim coat of drywall compound, sand, and repaint.
Basically what you suggested except not actually new drywall, the steps are the same tho.
