I had the fine fortune of stopping in the Fairfax, VA location back in May this year... and it was a great experience!

Even a regular size serving is enough to feed 3 or more people.

That said, I love Five Guys.
I think I ended up with the regular fries, cajun of course (great )... kinda wished I tried the large... but probably a good idea I didn't , besides, I got to finish off some of my bud's fries... then went to the IAD Smithsonian

This was a welcome surprise!

Thankfully In N Out and Five Guys are separated by about 2500 miles of terrain-
if they were in the same neighborhood, I'd have a hard time deciding... maybe go witha 4x4 animal style & a cup of cajun fries! (They were the bomb!)
