Looking for a place to grab a taste a danish cuisine. We will be staying one evening (long layover) at the Copenhagen Marriott. We arrive at 3pm and leave the following day at 7am.
Also, is it pretty to quick to get through the Copenhagen airport coming from USA without checked baggage?
I would ask the concierge at your hotel. The Marriott should have staff that can direct you to a good restaurant nearby with Danish cuisine. Just tell them what you are looking for.
I've only come into Copenhagen by train, but from everything I have read here on the forum over the years, Copenhagen airport is very easy to maneuver and you should not have any problems.

Yes, there are both trains and metro from the airport to central Copenhagen. Choose whichever option stops closer to your hotel.
My experience was that "Danish cuisine" was thin on the ground in Copenhagen, likely because even the Danes don't much care for it.
Just kidding, though aside from smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches, usually on rye bread) I have to say I preferred the many other excellent cuisines I had in Copenhagen, including excellent tuna poke, great burritos in Tex-Mex style, fish & chips and spectacular Texas-style barbecue, the last being at the Mikkeler brewery's pub called Warpigs in the Meatpacking District. Unhealthy, but oh, boy was it good.
